Do you... not know how political donors and lobbying work?
 help



Pretending that support for a Linux distro is going to translate directly (or at all) into political lobbying that is going to eclipse large donor groups that will sink hundreds of millions behind a candidate is delusional.

Why should it need to eclipse them? I think you are either ignorant or naive if you can’t see how this could be politically motivated.

It was a turn of phrase. I am just pointing out that it is extremely unlikely.

I don't think any of this is politically motivated (the Linux stuff). I don't see anything on the site that even mentions anything remotely political.
